We encourage you to get in contact with us to discuss how we can accommodate your needs as best as possible including possible access to our guest exclusive walking tracks.

Both owners have extensive experience with accessibility, gained from their previous careers and experiences and continue to learn from those with lived experience and have enjoyed listening to the ‘Accessed That’ Queensland Travel podcast. Tamara was also able to recently attend a training session with Guide Dogs Queensland.

We regularly have conversations with guests about things that worked and things which could be improved during their stay. These guests have included those with a range of accessibility requirements including an assistance dog, wheelchair users and neuro-diverse campers. Tamara is currently undergoing training in Forest Therapy Walks and was fortunate to be able to take a guest who uses a wheelchair on one of her training walks.

We are committed to understanding and meeting individual accessibility needs and ensuring a memorable rainforest experience. As a small family owned and run business we have the ability to adapt and be flexible to individual needs. We are happy to have a chat as you plan your trip to ensure the best experience for you and your travelling party.
